Today all matches must be scheduled to have at least three days' duration; historically, matches were played to a finish with no pre-defined timespan. This list is not limited to those who have played first-class cricket for Malaysia and may include Malaysian players who played their first-class cricket elsewhere. The list is in alphabetical order.
